I’ve sent 1st Fleet, one of my big fleets, to get rid of vordikars in the OM312 system (which is in a nebula). The order is a “Move to”, not a direct “Attack XXX”, because I want the fleet to regroup before attacking (even though, at this stage of the game, I believe it doesn’t matter much). And, as it used to happen quite a lot in the past, the fleet’s tankers arrived there 1st!

This behavior had stopped for a while, but I’ve seen this more and more often recently (can’t pinpoint exactly when it started happening again though).

Thanks for the report! We're hoping to have a public beta release soon that should address some of this behavior and generally improve fleets and fuel tankers. Please keep your eyes out for that update and test it when it goes live and let us know if it responds to some of this questionable behavior.

Any chance the beta will come out today (usually, they're posted on Fridays)?

Public beta should now be live. Feel free to test it on Steam or GOG.
